State Government - As introduced, enacts the "Critical Infrastructure Protection Act" and the "Protection of State Land from Foreign Adversaries Act." - Amends TCA Title 12, Chapter 3 and Title 66, Chapter 2.
HB 2548 creates two new laws: the "Critical Infrastructure Protection Act" and the "Protection of State Land from Foreign Adversaries Act." It requires state agencies to prohibit contracts with technology suppliers owned by foreign adversaries or using banned equipment listed by federal authorities, and mandates suppliers to certify compliance under penalty of perjury. The bill also prohibits state agencies from transferring state-owned land to foreign adversaries, their entities, or agents, requiring sworn statements from prospective buyers. These measures directly affect Tennessee state agencies and technology suppliers doing business with the state, focusing on securing infrastructure and land from foreign influence.
